How To Identify & Communicate Gaps In Supply Chain

In today’s regulatory landscape, driving effective Supply Chain Management (SCM) far surpasses the historic and limited definition of simply overseeing materials, information, and finances as they move in a process from supplier to manufacturer, to retailer to consumer. Supply chain management involves coordinating and integrating these flows both within and among companies, but also now requires a strategic focus upon ensuring Food Safety through the management of risk. Using effective collection, analysis, and integration of information, your firm will be able to capture vulnerabilities within your chain and implement practical solutions to mitigate risk, which further enhances brand protection.

In this session, expert speaker Valerie Scheidt will discuss some key elements to help manufacturers and brand owners effectively develop and execute a robust supplier control program.
